CEO & Owner of MOCO360
Scott Copeland is the CEO and owner of MOCO260, formerly known as Bethesda Magazine and Bethesda Beat. In the spring of 2021, Scott and his wife, Jillian Copeland, acquired Bethesda Magazine and Bethesda Beat from co-founders Steve and Susan Hull.
Longtime residents, business owners and philanthropists in Montgomery County, the Copelands believe an informed community is an engaged community and understand that trustworthy journalism strengthens readers and empowers individuals to engage with the world around them. As stewards of the next generation of these publications, they are excited to bring together content that matters to readers on a new, reimagined website—from timely news to compelling features.
Scott Copeland is a principal of RST Development LLC, a mid-Atlantic developer of multifamily market-rate and affordable housing. Together with Jillian, they also co-founded Main Street, a unique model of inclusivity and affordability that provides housing and dynamic community engagements so people of all abilities can live their best lives; and The Diener School in North Bethesda, which supports academic and social needs for students with learning differences.
Copeland has served on several boards including Children’s National Medical Center, Green Acres School, Sunniva Super Coffee and Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), a Chicago-based nonprofit.
